      I was raising the Cashay and loud thump and the drivers side landing gear looks like it jumped a tooth. I was able to raise the front with the passenger side until I got it high enough to hook up.

      Drivers side was loose all the way up but no pressure on it.

      Ideas? I was going to take a trip to the Pismo Classic trailer rally tomorrow, and may just throw a light car jack in as a “helper” if needed. Or is there a quick fix.

       

      I have not lubricated it by pulling it apart, just squirting the daylights out of it with lithium grease inside the assembly and dry lube on the outside.

      Passenger side leg is about a 1/2 in longer now than the drivers side.

        Drivers side jack 100% stripped.. can move with my hands… surprised it did not drop while driving.

        Looking at individual ultra-fab. a little overkill for a 28RKS but cant really find anything else

          I ended up ordering a set of the Ultra-Fab electric landing gear. I don’t think the tabs are going to fit quite right, so some welding is in my future. Ultra-Fab states 19.125in.

          Does anyone know what the direct replacement is? Removing it was a bear. That 1996 28ft has a small door and that driven jack with motor is HEAVY for this 69yr old.

            Jack,

            from the gold member documents

            Several possible suppliers in vendor list photo, but lots of write-up info in other documents. All in frame/suspension sections.
